May 17, 2013, Overland Park, KS: Strategic Net Applications, Inc. (SNAPPS) has inked both reseller and OEM partner agreements with Croatia-based SWING Software to bring greater reach and integration expertise to SWING’s success in the document integration and publishing field. Both firms are long-time IBM Business Partners. SNAPPS has joined a handful of resale partners and is one of two OEM partners worldwide, according to SWING. With its first OEM product offering, SnappArchive™, SNAPPS has integrated SWING’s PDF Convertor engine into IBM’s Lotus Quickr as a permanent archiving solution.

According to SNAPPS president and CEO Rob Novak, “The partnership with SWING Software strengthens our commitment to IBM customers by bringing them best of breed solutions, great integration and customization. Our business is all about productivity in the collaboration space, and working with SWING allows us to offer customers more ways to be productive.”

SWING’s PDF Convertor is designed for users, administrators and developers to enhance IBM’s Notes and Domino with PDF export capabilities. For end users, it adds a simple point-and-click interface. Administrators can schedule server based exports, while developers have access to a rich API to create integrated solutions. The flagship product is used for archiving, sharing outside the firewall, discovery, and records management and retention policy purposes. SNAPPS now resells PDF Convertor and will build custom solutions for customers using the APIs.

“We are very excited to partner with SNAPPS, a leading solution provider for IBM collaboration platforms,” says David Jakelic, CEO of SWING Software. “As the areas of expertise and portfolios of our two companies complement each other perfectly, we believe this partnership will result in top-class solutions for our customers.”
